Python Programming – Beginner's Notes

1. Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simple syntax
and readability. It is widely used in web development, data analysis, automation,
artificial intelligence, machine learning, and scripting.

Key Features

• Easy-to-learn syntax

• Open-source and free

• Cross-platform

• Large standard library

• Supports object-oriented programming

• Widely used in data science and AI

2. Variables

A variable is used to store a value.

Example:

name = "John"
age = 25
salary = 45000.50

Python automatically determines the data type.

3. Common Data Types

• String – text values

• Integer – whole numbers

• Float – decimal numbers

• Boolean – True or False

• List – ordered collection

• Tuple – immutable collection

• Dictionary – key-value pairs

• Set – collection of unique values

4. Conditional Statements
Conditional statements allow a program to make decisions.

Example:

if age >= 18:


print("Adult")
else:
print("Minor")

5. Loops

Python provides for and while loops.

Example:

for i in range(5):
print(i)

A while loop executes as long as a condition is true.

6. Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code.

Example:

def add(a, b):


return a + b

result = add(10, 20)

7. Lists

Lists can store multiple values.

Example:

fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"]

You can add, remove, and modify elements in a list.

8. Dictionaries

A dictionary stores data as key-value pairs.

Example:

student = {
"name": "John",
"age": 20,
"course": "Computer Science"
}
9. Exception Handling

Errors can be handled using try and except.

try:
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
except ValueError:
print("Invalid number")

10. Conclusion

Python is a versatile programming language suitable for beginners and professionals.


Learning variables, conditions, loops, functions, collections, and exception handling
provides a strong foundation for further Python development.
